Bug Description

I can use nautilus scripts in any folder but I just realized I can't use them (at least to act a single selected file) in the "search results" folder.
I think that the problem is that the following variable is not set for some reason in the "search results" folder:
$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS

I want to make a simple script to copy the location of that file. The following script works fine except in that folder:
echo "`dirname "$NAUTILUS_SCRIPT_SELECTED_FILE_PATHS"`" | perl -pe 's/\n//' | parcellite

This behavior was confirmed by another user. See the following thread:
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1830402

I am using 11.04 with Unity, 64-bit, Nautilus version Installed: 1:2.32.2.1-0ubuntu13
